What is a fair asking price for this guitar amp?

[PeaceLovinHippy]

I tried asking in the amp forum and got ignored.

 

Yamaha DG-80, w/ upgraded Eminence (dont know the model, older one though, label's gone) in perfect mechanical cond. but with a slightly bent high gain input jack (still works obviously)?

 

How much should i ask?

 

Thanks, PLH

Check out the review section at http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Data/Yamaha/DG80_112-01.htm

Some people list the used prices that they paid. This could help. Without the label/model/vintage of the Eminence speaker, I wouldn't expect this to affect the price too much IMO.

Thanks for the quick reply. I checked the reviews but most of them are over 2 years old.

I listed it locally at $425 and got as low as $350 without a single email of interest.

Thats why i asked.

Should i try eBay? What would be the best way to use eBay so that i make the most out of my amp?

Thanks!

I just ran a completed items search on eBay. Two sold in mid-April for $355 and $360.

There's another one that Guitar Center listed twice and got no bids at their starting price of $449.

I hope that helps.

Should i start the auction at $300 or pull the "Bidding starts at one cent" thing?

Is there enough demand to try the latter?

Thanks!

I think it's fun to start an auction at 1 cent and it draws alot of traffic, but be sure to have a reserve set so you don't get stuck selling it for $32.57

BTW, I've found that peace loving hippies are cool folk.
